Keane's POV

Logan got back to the room at around 2pm. I was led on the floor, a pillow under my head with my eyes shut,

"Keane?" There was a hint of worry in his voice,

"I'm good." I answered,

"Are you sure?" I opened my eyes,

"I'm sure,"

  "Do you want a shower?"

"Would kind of be nice not to stink," I replied, he laughed,

  "Well I think we can do something about that"

I was a little apprehensive about Logan helping me, it wasn't too long ago he was 'trying to kill me' and was ruining my life. Yet, I trusted him. It was a scary thought but...I really did.

"I'll just help you in...you don't have to strip completely. You can...you know...and then call me when you want to get out. I'll put the towel so you can reach it. I..."

"Logan. Stop worrying and just help me," 

  So he did and I showered and got changed into a fresh t-shirt and shorts and was currently led on the bed, the TV was on in the background on the music channel and Logan was working away on his Apple Mac. I was bored. I just wanted to be back with the ones I loved. Now I knew they were coming, it's all I could think about. It was all I ever thought about.

I got under the duvet and pulled it over my head, closing my eyes.

Sleep would pass the time.

Sleep would get me closer to tomorrow.

I awoke at 6pm. Logan wasn't sat on the bed. I sat up, I felt better than before my nap.

  "Feeling okay?" Logan asked as he came out of the bathroom.

"As can be,"

"I was waiting for you to wake up to order some dinner,"

I wasn't hungry, but knew I should eat something. So I played it safe with a pasta dish.

"I want to say sorry again," Logan began as we were eating our food watching a film.

   "Logan I already told you..."

"No Keane," he interrupted. "I am so sorry for everything that I put you through, even if it wasn't my intention because I was undercover and playing a role. I still hurt you both psychologically and physically and for that I cannot express enough to you how sorry I am. I had to build a wall, put on a mask, lock away feelings and emotions because otherwise I would have broken. I just want you to know that I promise I will do anything and everything you ask of me and that I will never hurt Arlo. I have been waiting to meet my son ever since I found out and I know that he's going to hate me. That everyone is for what I did, but I hope that..." he was crying now,

  "Logan. I forgive you, even though there's nothing to forgive. You did what you had to do to survive and I was just caught in the crossfire. You need to forgive yourself, you need to understand that I don't hate you. That I love you and one day, Arlo will to,"

Tayte's POV

The reunion between Joey and Rhina was short lived, thankfully. We got to the hotel at 5am due to our delayed flight, all checked in and got a few hours kip. By 9.30am we were eating breakfast when Talina received a text which said:
